Dear Bryan,
Regarding specifically the translation "entered the council," I would
have expected the verb Bo' for "enter" rather than HLK. The
combination of HLK with 'ecah seems to fit the traditional translation.
He has not "walked (behaved) in the counsel of" the wicked. If Bo'
had been the verb here, then I would see the verse differently.
Blessings,
